HC Deb 08 November 1989 vol 159 cc702-3W
58. Mrs. Peacock

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the latest figure he has for unleaded petrol sales.

67. Mr. Hayward

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what proportion of petrol sold in the United Kingdom is unleaded.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

I refer the hon. Members to the answer that I gave earlier today to my hon. Friend the Member for Wanstead and Woodford (Mr. Arbuthnot).

Dr. Marek

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if any vehicles belonging to or used by his Department run on leaded petrol.

Mr. Chope

The exact answer can be obtained only at a disproportionate cost. Wherever possible all vehicles that can be run on unleaded fuel do so. Those vehicles which can run only on leaded fuels are being replaced.

Dr. Marek

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if any Government ministerial cars run on leaded petrol.

Mr. Chope

Most ministerial allocated cars run on unleaded petrol. It is our intention to move the rest of the Government car fleet to unleaded petrol as the vehicles fall due for replacement.
